J&K Moving Labor and Hauling

I’ve read this guy’s reviews, but I have to say my experience was the opposite. I contacted Shawn to move a large travel trailer about 120 miles. He gave me a good price and was available the day I needed him so I booked it. We agreed to start at 10am on a Saturday, but a week later I asked him if he could be there at 9am instead and he agreed. He was right on time. We hooked up the camper and made the move with no problems at all. He was friendly and professional and did a great job. I’d use him again without hesitation.

Hired Shawn on the advise of a flooring installer. Shawn showed up on time and was very friendly. But, during the move out to redo wood floors the crew dragged a very heavy antique desk over our slate entryway leaving two parallel deep scratches across the slate. Shawn advised he would take care of every thing. Then on the day that we were to move back in using Shawn he did not show up. And as noted he would not answer the phone if I called from the regular phone but did when I called from other phones. he finally just started hanging up on me. because he did not come to move us back in took another week to find a mover to move us back leaving us with storage bills and extended time sleeping on couches in the basement. And no he did not ever make good on the damage. So I agree with the others don’t do it. buy some pizza and beer, rent a U haul and pick up those guys with signs along the road and be better for it.

Just awful. Used them twice, the first time they were just unloading a truck into an apartment. They showed up well over an hour late but did OK.
The second time we used them to load a U-​pack trailer to be moved across the country. They showed up over two hours late after calling and saying they were 10 minutes behind. They loaded the truck worse than possible. They made the bottom layer light boxes with labels like «Undershirts» and stacked books and heavy tools on top of them. Needless to say the entire load collapsed during transport causing extensive damage to all of the furniture within. They refused to take any calls or respond to e-​mails to discuss it. Hire anyone else but them.
If zero stars was an option I’d give them that. You might as well just throw your stuff into the back of a truck without boxes and hope for the best. At least you’ll have saved the money you would have been screwed out of.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
Shawn, the owner, is a con-​man.
The experience started out simple enough. I contacted Shawn and set up a time and date for 2 people to help me pack a moving truck. He told me he had a move earlier in the day, but would be to my apartment by 4pm. This was later than I wanted him there, but I agreed.
Fast forward to moving day…
4pm came and went with no word from Shawn. I called him at 5pm and was told the earlier move took longer than expected, but he would be to my place within an hour. He finally showed up at 8pm. I was already upset.
Shawn charges by the hour for assistance packing a truck. I wouldn’t have a problem with this if he worked through the entire time that he charges for. Instead he would try to start conversations about anything and everything throughout his work. This however turned out to be the least of my worries.
Shawn eventually finished packing the truck around 1am. The next day i drove the truck to my new (out of state) home and unpacked my truck. Everything was going well until I unpacked my $ 1200 leather chair. I had noticed while it was being packed that Shawn and his assistant were having trouble getting it through a doorway. I assumed it would be fine, considering I am not a professional mover and I was able to get it into the room undamaged. When I took it off the truck I realized how wrong I was. The leather on the chair was completely torn and covered in paint down both sides. Not only did Shawn not tell me about the chair, he wrapped it in a packing blanket so that I would not see it until I was 3 states away.
I immediately called him and asked about the chair. I agreed take $ 400 for a much cheaper replacement and Shawn assured me that he would send it that evening. Not surprisingly, the check never arrived. I called Shawn back and he did not answer. Assuming he had my number and was trying to avoid paying me, I borrowed a friends phone and placed another call. Surprise, surprise, he answered. This time he told me he would send the money via paypal. He continued to ignore phone calls from my number and answering unknown numbers. Every time he agrees to pay, but never does.
Long story short, this is not a man you want to do business with. He is very friendly in person, but will cheat you at every opportunity.
